The Yankees are showing interest in Jeremy Bonderman.

Yankees Fact:

Fritz Maisel is the only Yankees plaer to ever steal 50 or more bases in a season yet fail to score 100 runs. He accomplished the feat twice: 1914 and 1915.

January 5th Birthdays: Henry Cotto, Ron Kittle

If so, you're now on the hook for another 360 tidbits of Yankee's facts and fun! :D

Right now it looks that way. The Red Sox are very deep this year.

I wish Pettitte would make up his mind. Then there is only one hole to fill in the rotation.

Don't crown them yet!
A-Gon is a big addition, and I am not going to diminish his value, but let him prove his worth in the AL east first.
Lots more pressure now and they will pitch him different than in the NL.
The Crawford signing was one of Theo's worst.
He's a GOOD player, but a player who's main + attribute (speed) will be diminished playing left in Fenway.
Also if you watched any Red Sox baseball last year, the team MVP was Beltre!
Lester was brilliant last year and I thought Bucholtz was better, but he still hasn't pitched a full season.
Beckett is another year older and never made his money in the regular season.
And one of these years Papi won't be able to turn around his awful start.

As a Reds fan, trust me when I say that A-Gon is NOT a big addition. He'll be a headache for the fans most of the year. He could be a great player but is on the DL a lot, goes into big-time slumps and his range is overrated.

Perhaps, but you have to look at the whole line-up; they will be all mutually supporting, in that, until you get to the 8 and 9 spots, it'll be "pick your poison". Just who would you pitch around? The two weak spots, as I see it, are V-Tek and Scutaro, and they most likely will bat 8 and 9. Also important to remember is that they'll play 81 games in our little band-box in Boston; the wall giveth and the wall taketh away. If Crawford and Ellsbury bat toward the top of the line-up (as I suspect), imagine the base running possibilities.

Varitek is a big hole, and Saltalamacchia can't throw or hit for beans. At least the Yanks have options with their catchers. Crawford got overpayed big time, but i'm happy Boston did it and not the Yanks :r

The Rod Sux are very deep every year . . . and we all know in what. :r

And we still wait on Pettitte. At least he is not pulling a Brett Favre and holding press conferences every 5 minutes.

Scott BorASS stated that the Yankees are the only team Soriano would be willing to play for and not close.
